A composition for dust suppression, the composition comprising:

• an acrylic polymer;
• a polyvinyl acetate polymer, wherein the acrylic polymer/polyvinyl acetate polymer is between about 1.25% and about 45% by weight;
• a water repellant comprising:
• water, wherein the water is between about 46.25% and about 93.5%;
• potassium hydroxide, wherein the potassium hydroxide is between 0.25% and 5% by weight;
• a methylsiliconate, wherein the methylsiliconate is between about 2.5% and about 30% by weight;
• and,
• glycerin, wherein the glycerin is between about 0% and about 50% by weight, wherein the polymers, glycerin, and water form an aqueous acrylic vinyl acetate polymer emulsion.
